Comment (by Minimalist360):

 Is there a ticket for this:

 * The default size of two lines is too small I'm not sure anyone thinks
 this, except maybe the "I feel claustrophobic" comment? I think most
 people complaining about this are actually seeing a bug where the size
 starts as zero instead of two lines.

 I definitely have this problem with the zero lines. It was mentioned
 above, but I can't find another ticket for this. Is there a workaround? I
 get this 100% of the time on new windows.
